Highlander car

My secret dream is to have a SUV fuel guzzling monster or other type of 4 wheel drive like you saw here , and not a Ferrari :)

A few months ago I found the perfect car , none other than the Toyota Highlander, lol my namesake yes .
Look at that beauty , it's seminal. Unfortunately it is beyond my means , and buying on credit/installments has not been available until very recently and only at selected agents. So I gathered my lifelong savings and finally bought this little trusthworthy Hyundai .
*( note instead of revealing my 'haram' tootsies I'm showing you my car - another form of transport ;) ).

Meanwhile I'll keep dreaming of the Highlander car.

What is your car & your dream car ? and would you like to show it to us too ?

"What is your car & your dream car ? "

Oh my god! I don't care about cars at all. As long as I don't have flat tires and as long as it has an engine and runs I 'll take anything.

"and would you like to show it to us too ?"

Hell no!! Mine is a mess...too embarrassing, can't show it :)

congratulation for the new car, as for me I don't have a dream of any car just have any car in good condition that's all and I already have Mitsubishi Lancer 2003 http://www.nctd.com/review-intro.cfm?Vehicle=2003_Mitsubishi_Lancer&ReviewID=1357
hope your dream of Toyota Highlander come true one day.

as far as i am concerned Iran has won my love support, and quite frankly my alligence

And just yesterday, you said all the mullahs desrved to die! What a shocker that now you say you would give your life to protect them, LibyanWarrior.

Was I as full of shit as you, when I was your age? I don't remember it that way but it's possible I suppose :P

I drive a Honda Accord, Highlander.... kinda boring but my ex-wife got my car when we divorced, and I got hers. Not sure how that works exactly :O

Well, I have no driving license - yet!

But if money wasn´t an issue I´d go for German cars.

I can´t make up my mind if I should get a Porsche Boxter http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=105588 or perhaps rather a Mercedes SL Roadster http://www2.mercedes-benz.co.uk/content/unitedkingdom/mpc/mpc_unitedkingdom_website/en/home_mpc/passenger_cars/home/products/new_cars/slk_class_roadster_facelift.html

Which should I choose????

LadyCroc said...

Ahhhh - as usual long links don´t work - you gotta look it up on Google yourself.

Remember: Mercedes SLK or Porsche Boxter???

programmer craig said...

Hmmm.... somebody is off his meds again! :P

LibyanWarrior yesterday:

Lol. Fuck them and their fatwas. Fuck the Mullahs and Fuck the Sheik. They are idols and if anyone follows their fatwas, they are a Polytheist. All of The Mullahs should be killed.

LibyanWarrior today:

I never said that the Mullahs should die. Stop putting words in my mouth pc

Some people have told me that you're just young and don't know any better, LibyanWarrior, but I was a young man once too and I don't remember having such chaotic thought processes that I completely contradicted myself from day to day, and didn't even recall doing so.

Personally, I don't think you are all that harmless. But I've been outvoted on Highlander's blog, so I'll let you slide :)

But don't expect me to let your insanity go unchallenged.

Mabrouk 3la Seeyara.

The Audi Q7 all the way for me - German engineering combined with sleek design - are you tempted to change your mind?

But at times I think ahh what’s all the fuss about! It’s a car - gets you from A to B, is there a real justification in spending £25K upwards for a car? If you have surplus cash then yeah why not ;)

Hi Hi!
Yeah I saw such a car the other day and smiled when it made me think of you. :)

Presently I do not have a car. My bike takes me all around the city, and when it does not, I can catch up with my reading on public transportation, hmmm at least in theory.


I am not a fan of large thirsty monsters. I am even slightly offended by them, as long as they are powered by petroleum based fuel. Humanity is living beyond the means of Earth's resources. And oil is where we will see a crunch soon.

LibyanWarrior confided to me in private that his dream car is a Yugo ("very difficult to find a decent Yugo these days," he stated), and if he can't have that, he wants a Gremlin. Right now, he is stuck driving an old station wagon circa 1970.

I pretty much hold Leilouta's opinion of cars myself: anything that gets me by. I wouldn't show my car to others either. I have about 20-30 books lying in the backseat, among other things. Gas mileage is an issue right now, fortunately I have a small, efficient car.

OK. OK. If I really had the means: a slick, silver Mercedes-Benz would be my first choice.

NBA I'm glad I'm not in Saudi Arabia - this is Libya :)

Leilouta ;) That's not fair we should get to see that embarrassing car ! & Allah yiberk fik .


Libyan Warrior lol I have no idea how the car you are talking about looks like , show us a photo please .

AngloLibyan :) Allah Yibarik Fik.

A. Adam:) Thanks my friend - oh you got the Mitshi eh , those are very nice, I was going to buy the 2005 one but it was still about 3000 LD more than what I had lol.

Programmer_Craig :) No idea how you ended up with your ex-wife's car hmm is that how divorce settlements are in the US ?
WE used to have Honda Accords here they are very reliable.

Safia !!! I am shocked you have no driving licence ? no way 80% of Libyan girls do , all I see are women driving here. Some guy was complaining the other day that a father would rather buy a car for his daughter then his son because the son can get by but the daughter needs to be protected and so it is better for her to drive a car and take her sisters and mum to places or university etc..Maybe fathers do not want to run errands anymore ;) that's what I suspect as we have too much socialising here .Between a Merc and a Porshe if I could afford it I'd take the Porsche , but then I said I like 4 wheels drive cars ....

7mada :), shukran ya khoui , Audi's are also nice but I think all these classy cars are too fancy for me.

Redneck well you know the BMW do have a 4 wheel drive model I think - I might just change my opinion ;)

Redenclave, Oh I liked the Rav 4 as well but I heard it can easily be overturned here our streets are a bit bumpy..However we do have the Daihatsu Terios too and it is so cute and small, but would not fit half the people and the stuff I carry around all the time, plus I'm a tall gal and when I tried it my legs were pinched a bit, but it is beautiful and sturdy and reliable I agree 100%.

Adam :) As lons as oil is no problem here in Libya , I'm a mosnter guzzling fan but hey the car is so efficient and energy saving. I contemplated using my brother's bycicle to go around as a form of exercise , but seeing that I may not return in one piece home because of our wonderful way of driving and we have no bycicle lanes and driving is an exercise in survival. I decided against it-

Tommy :) long time no see man , we had some Yugos here those were decent cars

UmmAminah :) I've been driving in Tripoli and elsewhere for as long as I can remember, only recently it started being halba zahma, but they were they drive , you are right I give up . Don't worry about your bro in law , I once reversed on the highway for about 5 km when I missed my lane he he he, I do wear a seatbelt and did not get arrested ;)


Verdict ? it seems we have a tie between Japanese and German cars!

Highlander

My dream car is a SLK-Class Mercedes Benz, and at the moment I’m driving a red C3...

http://favmoments.blogspot.com/2006/09/what-is-your-car-your-dream-car.html

I don't agree with buying 4x4 cars, cuz they're more harmful to the environment than the other cars, although by buying a 4x4 car you can drive easily here in Tripoli without worrying about the broken roads and the spread of holes all over the city!

Leilouta said...

Ok, maybe I will. I'll think about it :)
